The Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) has appointed Princess Adenike Adegoke as the new Director, Lagos Operations, following the retirement of Mrs. Bolanle Owoyemi, who bowed out of public service after attaining the mandatory retirement age of sixty.
Until her new appointment, Princess Adegoke served as the Director of Academic Planning at the National Broadcast Academy (NBA), the training arm of the FRCN.
The official handover ceremony took place at the Broadcasting House, Ikoyi, where Mrs. Owoyemi formally handed over the leadership mantle to her successor in the presence of members of the Committee of Management (COM).
In her remarks, Mrs. Owoyemi expressed gratitude to the management and staff for their cooperation and support throughout her tenure. She urged them to extend the same level of commitment to the new Director, advising Princess Adegoke to “always consult widely before making key decisions.”
In her response, Princess Adegoke expressed delight at returning to Lagos Operations after eight years away, pledging to build on existing achievements and strengthen teamwork across departments. “I am happy to be back home. I look forward to working closely with everyone, both management and staff, to take this great organisation to greater heights,” she said.
Speaking on behalf of the Committee of Management, Mr. Fred Shaka-Braimah, Deputy Director, News and Current Affairs, welcomed the new Director, describing her as a seasoned professional whose leadership experience would further advance the Corporation’s vision.
With this transition, FRCN Lagos Operations ushers in a new leadership phase aimed at strengthening professionalism, innovation, and public service broadcasting excellence.
